`join` was removed due to fundamental incompatibilities with how the new
compiler works. Instead, symbols are exposed via the template system and
are used to perform the equivalent of a join.
This uses the GNU Octave or MATLAB-style matrix definitions for tables,
which produces a single node instead of a node per field and row, which
results in a significantly smaller tree and drastically improves processing
time.
This uses the BDD specification package `test/spec`.
[LoVullo employees: this was extracted from the same point as the first
commit, and includes some minor cleanup and moving around.]
Some notes on this: The "Calc DSL" is the name of the DSL before it
became "TAME". This takes the entire core library and squashes its 91
commits into a single one; the reason for this is because those
commits often contain LoVullo-specific details that are either
irrelevant or should not be included.
This library has limited value to the public at the time of this
commit, since TAME has not yet been released (it requires some
additional cleanup and filtering before then). It is also in need of
heavy refactoring and reorganization, since it has accumulated a lot
of cruft, especially since the project in which the Calc DSL was
introduced was rushed (to put it lightly). Forgive the mess.
[LoVullo employees: the commit was extracted from dsl.git 4a3aea9;
full history can be found there. This commit contains some additional
minor tweaks in addition to squashing. It filters on the :/core/
directory.]
